This is delicious. If you put a blindfold on me, I would tell you that this is a medium-ly scented rose tea! I would probably even be pretty insistent about it. I had no idea lychee tea tasted like this. Wonderful sans additions, but I can see how a little sugar might be nice with this – especially if you have it iced.

Oh Mr. Harney(s), you offer yet another completely enjoyable tea to put on my shopping list! I could see this one being a haven for hectic days.

Thanks again Jen! I love it!!!!

Preparation

I agree, Jacqueline! She sent me some a while back and I felt the same – beautifully scented rose tea! I had been a little afraid to try it because when I tasted lychees I didn’t Ike them, but it was quite good!

Profile

Bio

I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and attend a large public university doing post-bac work (my BA is in English). I’m interested in the liminal spaces between art and craft, the academic and the practical, the individual and community, and the old and the new. I’m currently exploring these ideas through the disciplines of education, literature, history, and psychology.

I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.

My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
An Occasional Oolong
Flavored Rooibos
Herbal Tisanes
